Surface/ground = $0$; below = negative, above = positive.

Step2: Identify opposite pairs

Kella's values: $-62, -97$; Brandon's values: $11700, 8800$. An opposite of Brandon's positive height is a negative depth, and vice versa.

Step3: Match options

$-62$ is a negative depth, opposite to Brandon's positive heights.

Step1: Locate point V

Point V is at $5$ on the number line.

Step2: Find first opposite

Opposite of $5$ is $-5$.

Step3: Find opposite of result

Opposite of $-5$ is $5$.
